    Trends in autoionization of Rydberg states converging to the 4s threshold in the Kr-Rb⁺-Sr²⁺ isoelectonic sequence: theory and experiment

    We have measured the photoabsorption spectra of the Kr-like ions Rb+ and Sr2+ at photon energies corresponding to the excitation of 4s-np resonances using, the dual laser plasma photoabsorption technique. Dramatic changes in the line profiles, with increasing ionization and also proceeding along the Rydberg series of each ion, are observed and explained by the trends in 4s-transition amplitudes computed within a framework of configuration-interaction Pauli-Fock calculations. Total photoionization cross sections show very good agreement with relative absorption data extracted from the measured spectra

    Global, regional, and national age-sex-specific mortality and life expectancy, 1950–2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017

    BACKGROUND: Assessments of age-specific mortality and life expectancy have been done by the UN Population Division, Department of Economics and Social Affairs (UNPOP), the United States Census Bureau, WHO, and as part of previous iterations of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD). Previous iterations of the GBD used population estimates from UNPOP, which were not derived in a way that was internally consistent with the estimates of the numbers of deaths in the GBD. The present iteration of the GBD, GBD 2017, improves on previous assessments and provides timely estimates of the mortality experience of populations globally. METHODS: The GBD uses all available data to produce estimates of mortality rates between 1950 and 2017 for 23 age groups, both sexes, and 918 locations, including 195 countries and territories and subnational locations for 16 countries. Data used include vital registration systems, sample registration systems, household surveys (complete birth histories, summary birth histories, sibling histories), censuses (summary birth histories, household deaths), and Demographic Surveillance Sites. In total, this analysis used 8259 data sources. Estimates of the probability of death between birth and the age of 5 years and between ages 15 and 60 years are generated and then input into a model life table system to produce complete life tables for all locations and years. Fatal discontinuities and mortality due to HIV/AIDS are analysed separately and then incorporated into the estimation. We analyse the relationship between age-specific mortality and development status using the Socio-demographic Index, a composite measure based on fertility under the age of 25 years, education, and income. There are four main methodological improvements in GBD 2017 compared with GBD 2016: 622 additional data sources have been incorporated; new estimates of population, generated by the GBD study, are used; statistical methods used in different components of the analysis have been further standardised and improved; and the analysis has been extended backwards in time by two decades to start in 1950. FINDINGS: Globally, 18·7% (95% uncertainty interval 18·4–19·0) of deaths were registered in 1950 and that proportion has been steadily increasing since, with 58·8% (58·2–59·3) of all deaths being registered in 2015. At the global level, between 1950 and 2017, life expectancy increased from 48·1 years (46·5–49·6) to 70·5 years (70·1–70·8) for men and from 52·9 years (51·7–54·0) to 75·6 years (75·3–75·9) for women. Despite this overall progress, there remains substantial variation in life expectancy at birth in 2017, which ranges from 49·1 years (46·5–51·7) for men in the Central African Republic to 87·6 years (86·9–88·1) among women in Singapore. The greatest progress across age groups was for children younger than 5 years; under-5 mortality dropped from 216·0 deaths (196·3–238·1) per 1000 livebirths in 1950 to 38·9 deaths (35·6–42·83) per 1000 livebirths in 2017, with huge reductions across countries. Nevertheless, there were still 5·4 million (5·2–5·6) deaths among children younger than 5 years in the world in 2017. Progress has been less pronounced and more variable for adults, especially for adult males, who had stagnant or increasing mortality rates in several countries. The gap between male and female life expectancy between 1950 and 2017, while relatively stable at the global level, shows distinctive patterns across super-regions and has consistently been the largest in central Europe, eastern Europe, and central Asia, and smallest in south Asia. Performance was also variable across countries and time in observed mortality rates compared with those expected on the basis of development. INTERPRETATION: This analysis of age-sex-specific mortality shows that there are remarkably complex patterns in population mortality across countries. The findings of this study highlight global successes, such as the large decline in under-5 mortality, which reflects significant local, national, and global commitment and investment over several decades. However, they also bring attention to mortality patterns that are a cause for concern, particularly among adult men and, to a lesser extent, women, whose mortality rates have stagnated in many countries over the time period of this study, and in some cases are increasing

    The relative importance of runup and setup on beach flooding

    The paper analyzes the relative weight of processes controlling mean water level variations on beach flooding. This analysis has been based on the evolution of their Long Term Probability Distribution Function along two actual beach transects (one dissipative at the Ebro delta region and one reflective in the Maresme coast) both from the NW Spanish Mediterranean Coast. This has been done through the three parameter Long Term Weibull Probability Distribution Function for setup and runup. The analysis shows the evolution of the three Weibull parameters (position parameter A, scale parameter B and shape parameter C) as a function of the hydrodynamics (different climatic scenarios), the morphodynamics (beach slope, presence of submerged bars, etc.) and the calculation methodology (empirical formulations or numerical models). The results show how these issues lead to different probability of flooding, which implies large uncertainty for beach management

    Coastal flood vulnerability assessment, a satellite remote sensing and modeling approach

    International audienceAlthough there are numerous case studies assessing coastal vulnerability, many of these studies have been performed in places where notable efforts have been carried out to provide information on the different variables that affect the coast. However, this is not the case for most places worldwide given the lack of long-term datasets. This study makes use of information from satellite remote sensing and analytical models to derive two vulnerability indices along a 9.5 km stretch of the coast of Langue de Barbarie, Saint Louis, Senegal (Western Africa). The first is a coastal vulnerability index (CVI) to sea level rise due to climate change and results in a five-category classification: Very Low, Low, Moderate, High, and Very High. The second is a flood vulnerability index (FVI) to coastal flooding due to extreme events and results in a three-category classification: Low, Moderate, and High. Results for the CVI index show that 70% of the coast presents High and Very High vulnerability values, largely located in the most densely populated areas. The FVI is assessed for one of the most energetic storms for the 1979–2021 period which occurred in February 2018 using a beach configuration of March 2021. Results show that 29% of the coastline presents High FVI values (i.e., are likely to be overtopped) concentrated in the central sector of the most-populated districts. This provides relevant tools to improve coastal management when in situ data are not available
